JCRC Urges You to Get Ready!

September 2008 - National Preparedness Month

Emergencies happen,
but planning now can help minimize
the impact they will have on our lives.

Every organization should be working to make itself ready for all types of emergencies. Make emergency plans for property, staff and clients.

Every family needs to make emergency plans.

We are part of a community. We all need to think, plan, train and volunteer in order to keep our metropolitan New York area prepared and resilient in emergencies.
